Comments Thread For: Wilder: You Must Take Title From Champ; Fury Didn't Do That

[Citizen Koba]

I see. Well good let me speak. In order take the champion's title away from him you have to do so in dominating fashion or by knockout and Tyson did not do that. He just barely outpointed him.

By domination fashion I mean nearly beating him within inches of a knockout with several knockdowns in between. I am not dis*****g that Tyson should have gotten the nod. I believed he won the fight also.

All I am saying is I can see how the official three judges rationalized scoring it a draw; Because in addition, to not dominating the fight, Fury was hurt and dropped to the canvas hard twice too. Therefore, it is hard to give the challenger the benefit of the doubt given those material facts.

The bolded? Nah. You don't. That's just the common misinterpretation the adage 'you got to beat the champ...' Championship fights are scored the exact same way as any other fight, what that phrase means is simply that if it's a draw then the Champ keeps his belt. Very common mistake though, enough so that it could well be self fulfilling.

But yeah... Look man, if I tried real hard I could probably give Wilder the other 3 rounds, probably 2, 5 and 7, but I didn't and that wasn't the fight I saw. What I saw was Wilder missing a lot and being made to look baffled and bewildered for nearly all of the time when Fury wasn't actually on the floor. I ain't a big fan of Compubox for scoring fights, but the 13 punch difference actually represents something close to 20% of Wilders total landed. If you take out 9 and 12 which we know Wilder won the punch totals over the remaining 10 rounds become 72 vs 47 which means Fury outlanded Wilder by 50%... plenty enough to be considered clear.

Sh1t... getting dragged into it when I said I wasn't gonna.

I'll try to let it lie. Night, man.

I m getting tired of this fury barely outlanded wilder talk. Wilder threw and missed so many punches.
How good m ust furies defence have been for wilder to throw so many, yet land so little?
This is what Floyd did. FLOys opponents threw so many at Floyd didn't they, so surely they must have beat floyd right?

[lopetego]

Wilder is right

fists of fluff didnt do enough to win against an INJURED Champion

Fury was lucky they didnt stop the fight in the second kd

Floyd never got almost starched twice in any fight, did he?

many refs would have waved off the fight in the second brutal kd. Fury was lucky

Fury didnt do enough to win and looked like a frail, feeble oaf in there

Take any Floyd fight where he comfortably won on points. Against baldomir, against guerro, against ssm.
If any of them had of knocked Floyd down twice are you saying he'd have got only a draw with them?
Fury was even doing well in rounds he was knocked down the knock downs were so out of blue
